  • Leaving no tracks

    3 bootcamp types found their ways to the snow / ice covered lot of SOT. 2 for MOT but that’s a different BB.

    As each car / truck pulls into the lot and does not leave tracks through the ground cover you know its going to be an interesting AO

    With sooooooo many opportunities to get injured this morning we decided a walking workout was the best option. The 3 amigos walked around the school twice doing various exercises at differing counts whenever we felt like stopping. Wherever there was a dry spot found an ab exercise or a plank type exercise was called by whoever had an idea other than that lots of squats ball dippers and the like.

    If we stopped for too long Hermie would let one rip guaranteeing our immediate need to move again.

    NMS: When the weight of the F250 doesn’t leave tracks in a snow covered parking lot you know its cold outside. With the way the lot was looking this morning and judging by the look of the back roads we agreed that there probably wouldn’t be any in person school for the rest of this week.

    Starbucks with the 2 runners afterwards

  • Blasting Doozy music!!!

    As YHC arrived at NO Toll (5:10) to put out todays beatdown paraphernalia, Tin Man was already on the scene getting after it with some laps around the field. YHC put a bucket of goodies out under the Gazebo and made his way back to the truck to see who else would arrive. L-Woods snuck onto the playground to get 5 pull ups in for todays penance. 5:26 time to get after it and see who else has ventured out in the ice and snow.

    5 Iron Men gathered at the flag when all was said and done.

    Indigenous people walk (parking lot was super icy) with the home made medicine ball. Person in the back does 5 Squats, hands the ball to the next guy and runs (shuffles) to the front.

    At the gazebo we do some stretches, LBCs and Merkins

    Move over to find the burpee bucket – Keep it simple, rotating 3 exercises (Squats, Ball Dippers, SSH) PAX moves together hitting corner 1 back to the bucket for 5 burpees. Run to the center of the field back to the burpee bucket so on and so forth. Ice on top of the snow but it was really interesting how most of the time you didn’t break through it and how it wasn’t slippery.

    Doozy music was playing from the bucket as the beatings continued

    Grab the bucket and the ball and indigenous people walk back to the flag with 5 squats in the back run to the front and grab the bucket.

    Lots of time left, leave the ball at the truck. Take the bucket because the music is good.

    Four corners on the basketball court. 10 Merkins, 10 Plank Jack, 10 American Hammers, 10 LBCs. Machismo points out how this is probably the least slick the basketball courts have ever been.

    Repeto 20

    Repeto 30 (with a break at 15 Merkins)

    Repeto 40 (with a break at 20 Merkins)

    NMS: YHC had 2 plans for the day, if less than 3 others showed up the beatdown would have been 100% made up on the fly. More than 3 others and we would follow through with the main plan. YHC had planned it this way because there were glow sticks to go along with it and less than 4 HIM seemed like a waist of the sticks. With 5 HIM it was going to happen. However once under the gazebo and looking out onto the snow covered fields we could see everything and the decision was made to save the sticks for another time.

  • Loungy stuff in the cold

    20 stupid degrees or 70 and sunny as we like to call it.

    6 bundled up warriors gathered for another addition of the lounge, even Rosie wore his ear warming head band

    Mosey to the turn around for COP – Jazzersize in honor of Nancy Lopez hitting 1,000 posts, lots of stretching in conversation (OYO) and some Merkins, Ukrainian Soldiers

    Mosey to the playground for a triple check – Partner 1, pull ups, Partner 2, Merkins, Partner 3 run across the field and back.

    Mosey to the old basketball court to check out the newly painted Pickle Ball courts, have a discussion on how you can’t hide money. Four corners – Ball Dippers, Jump Squats, WWIIs, American Hammers

    Partner up – Three Pickle Ball courts and 6 Pax. Each group go to their own court. Catch me if you can, Partner 1 – Bear crawl, Partner 2 – Jump squats do this for 1 lap. Lap 2 – Crab Walk and ?, Lap 3 – Lung and Merkins

    Mosey to the bus loop – Triple check Partner 1 wall sits, Partner 2, Merkins of choice and Partner 3 – Run the loop

    Mosey to the front of the school – Triple check Partner 1, Dirty Hookups, Partner 2, Hoe Downs and Partner 3 – 20 SSH Ran out of time

  • Pain with Purple Rain

    YHC had no real plan for the morning because I thought I would be solo but then a different car appears from out of the Gloom and Purple Rain emerges.

    Mosey to door 1 for COP, while trying to remember the name of an exercise (Imperial Walkers) YHC decided the doors was always a crowd pleaser

    Starting at door 1 we alternated LBC’s and American Hammers by door 33 we had abs of steel so it was decided that what goes up must come down so reverso 33 to 1 with Squats and single count lunges. At door 20 on the way up we did 40 because of the A and B doors (IYKYK) and on the way down we did 20 Merkins and 20 LBCs.

    We made it back to door 8 but ran out of time and had to head BTTF

    Numbers / Names Purple Rain took us out

    NMS: That was harder than it looked, my abs are screaming. Thanks Purple Rain for joining YHC this morning, that probably wouldn’t have gotten done if you were not there.

  • Running was a happy accident

    7 Bootcampers and 1 runner hit the Timberwolf launch pad this warm winter morning. Warby wanted to do his favorite Forrest Gump impression so he split and made his way to the track to see how fast he could run on the flats.

    Mosey to the parking lot:

    COP the usual stretches and things to help Kickstart the heart

    Mosey to the side hill for some 11’s. At the bottom 10 Ball Dippers (each side), Bernie to the top for 1 Deep Squat. Rinse and repeat.

    Mosey through the bus lot to light pole alley: Run to the first light do one merkin and run back, run to the second light do two WWII’s on the way back do one merkin. Everytime out to the next pole hit all the spots on the way back. 9 lights total, that’s a lot of running.

    Mosey walk to about the basketball courts and do walking lunges.

    Mosey to the back side wall for a quick triple check

    Partner 1 does wall sits, Partner 2 does donkey kicks, Partner 3 runs around the island.

    BTTF just for fun 5 burpees OYO

    NMS: YHC really didn’t intend to do a lot of running today but when you only have half of a plan for your Q, you show your true colors.

  • At least it wasn’t solo

    Thanks to Nancy Lopez YHC was not the only one at SOT or MOT (MOT was a NO for today)

    Mosey to the track for COP

    Some stretches, Imperial walkers, LBC’s and other stuff

    YHC had a plan if there were a hand full of PAX today but with Just Nancy and I, YHC decided to modify it. I had done a solo work out a few weeks ago walking the track and doing exercises at the straights and ends (number of lane you’re in) but somehow it seemed harder the last time so Nancy and I decided to mosey the track instead of walk. The exercises where Merkins, WWII’s, Squats and SSH’s

    Mosey walk through the trail and then for real mosey once we hit the concrete path to the bottom of MT Midlo

    At the middle of Mt Midlo start a modified 11’s

    10 Merkins and 1 WWII run to the top 9 Merkins and 2 WWII’s so on and so forth.

    Bernie to the corner of the bus lot

    BTTF numbers / names

    NMS: Nancy is an OSU fan and ***I am not*** but I did admit while as a Michigan and Indiana fan I am forever forbidden by law to root for the school that we shall not speak its name, I will not be rooting against them tonight. I would like to see a rematch of the Big 10 Championship because it was a hard fought game for both teams.

    Like 2025 this beatdown was less than epic but it did allow for catching up with a friend that I am very grateful to have. Thank you Nancy for helping me kick 2025 out the door, may God bless 2026 in a real and Epic way.

  • Slow Roller Coaster

    With just Singer and YHC on the (still in town list) of runners that frequent RR, YHC pre-fired a text with a route that is loved by all. River Downs South up the big hill, loop around the back towards Gumbos old house but turn right early and BTTF. 4.40 by the Garman, Singer turned BTTF at 2 miles which probably gave him 4 +/-

    NMS: There was a day not too long ago that YHC might have been able to catch Singer coming BTTF near JRHS but not having run in a while has taken its toll.

  • I was told there would be coffee!!!!!

    4 Regulars, 1 second post and an FNG but NO Last Call which at Twin Team means no coffee.

    5:30 its wet outside but not raining mosey, mosey, mosey to the side cover at JRHS for the COP. PAX was taken here to stay dry but Orange Crush said that was sissy or something like that.

    First event, partner up for a touch a light post. Partner 1 runs to 2 light post while partner 2 does dips, second round is 2 different lights and Incline merkins, third round is 2 different lights and step ups

    To this point still very loungey mosey to the JRHS track

    Four corners on the track first lap is abs – 20 at each stop Scrunchy frogs, American Hammers, LBC’s and something else. Second lap legs – Squats, Walking Lunges, Ball Dippers and Calf Raises. Third Lap Arms/Chest – Merkins, Wide Grip Merkins, Shoulder Taps And Chuck Norris (10) with Diamond (10)

    BTTF for an Ab ring of fire

    NMS: Welcome back to Rousey for his second post and welcome to Dig Dug who came with Rousey. Don’t let the name fool you Dig Dug is a mine engineer and not as old as his namesake although he did say he played Dig Dug one time at his Grandmothers house.

  • Morning Burpee Walk

    Solo beatdown this morning at SOT, the runners went their way and YHC was left with a decision. Get in the truck and go get coffee / donuts or do some for of workout.

    Mosey to the track while I think about that. COP, DQ’s, Helicopters, Ukrainian Soldiers, LBC’s, Crunch twists along with some stretches.

    Start on the track with a walk in lane 6, 6 Burpees at the halfway point, 6 Burpees at the far end, 6 burpees at the half way point and 6 more burpees at the close end. Repeto and the number of burpees is the lane you’re in. Basically descending burpees at the same spots each lap.

    BTTF with Lunges up the hill

    NMS: Lots of inner thought and reflection time this morning . YHC will not be in Richmond next week so hopefully someone will pick up the Q.

  • What kind of Merkin is that

    YHC, Dumar and Hermie wanted to learn a new Merkin so we met at SOT to get it figured out

    Mosey to the bus lot for all the usuals, YHC saw this on FB reel so it was worth trying

    Plank to merkin, touch the shoulders, Merkin touch the chest (both sides), Merkin touch each knee, Merking touch each foot, Merkin jump up thats one X 10. More of this to come, there is a Mike Tyson in there also (YHC will get it dialed in).

    Mosey to the sidewalk triple check, Mosey to the front of the school another triple check, mosey to the back of the building for 2 more triple checks then BTTF for some stretching

    Numbers / Names Don Draper took us out

    NMS: YHC loves finding new stupid stuff to do and these new Merkins are stupid
